Cancellation & Insurance

When a hotel reservation is made, both the guest and the hotel enter into a legally binding contract. The hotel offers accommodation on certain terms and the guest accepts the offer – a contract. In the event of a reservation being cancelled, for whatever reason, the hotel may claim a cancellation charge, which could be a substantial sum equal to the total reservation. The hotel, on being informed of the cancellation, will endeavour to re-let the accommodation. This may not be possible at the full period or contract price. Together with a administration fee of £15, this may modify any refund. We would therefore politely draw your attention to, and recommended, holiday cancellation insurance. Details of typical policy forms are available here but you may wish to use alternative brokers.

Payments of accounts

No service charge is included. Gratuities are entirely at our guests discretion and will be greatly appreciated by the staff who operate a shared ´tronc´.

The management reserves the right to alter published tariffs without notice.
